Pinterest Thursdays - Sailor's Knot

Well, after being home for almost a week, I've realized I am quite bored. I go to Quik Trip. A lot. Summer Tradition, I guess. 



Fortunately for my caloric intake, I am absolutely addicted to Pinterest. So I decided to actually make something I found on pinterest instead of just gawking at all the pictures!  

Wouldn't it be a crazy idea if everyone had a board on Pinterest entitled "Things I've actually done from Pinterest?"


I, for one, would only have 5 things on there. And they would all be desserts. Hahaha, so I decided to change that. Every Thursday is going to be a Pinterest Thursday for me! How does that sound? 

Today - I made a Sailor's Knot bracelet! Woo Hoo! 
Here's a picture and a link

Pretty nifty, right? I saw it and I liked it! 

The website said to use a can that was between 14 to 20 oz. 
I picked a 15 oz can, and it the bracelet actually turned out too large for me, so next time, I'll go smaller. 


What a lovely corn can!


This is when I started making the second round (of three).


Here's my finished product. Yeah...it didn't turn out the way I expected it to. But I still like it! 
There was just an ugly patch on the backside. 


So I fixed it! (sometimes my genius boggles my brain) haha


Just kidding about that genius part. Total lie. 
I don't encourage you all to follow my example, I have complete faith that you can all make a bracelet a million times better than mine. 

Hope you give it a try! 

Happy Pinterest Thursday!
(and if you have any suggestions about what other crafts I could try, please let me know!)
